or do you just think your perfectly fine? that is the ?

lol i think you have the right idea..lol when im sober im fine.. when im high.. shit i can concentrate better high than sober.. haha

Depends on how you look at your life and what you do with it. Weed is not the factor you are!

I don't think it makes you smarter. It decreases your brain activity. I think that long term heavy use can cause some issues in the long run, but nothing very serious. I smoked weed for 10 years everyday, and never realized that even when I wasn't freshly baked, I was still high; just not as high as I was use to being all the time. So, I was literally high for like 10 years straight, and it took me putting it down for like 6 months to actually realize it. Looking back on it, I'd definitely say it affected me in some ways. During the time I smoked every day I would have told you that it didn't, but looking back on it now, I'd say "yes it does" Some people claim it makes them smarter, or that it gives them great ideas. I both agree, and disagree because sometimes the fact that somebody may have a great idea or revelation while they're high may be nothing more than them being amazed by something that is really just basic thought, and the only reason it's "amazing" is because they're high. That being said, I think that drugs have done some amazing things for art in general; especially music, so I'd have to say it goes both ways.

"See I think drugs have done some good things for us. If you don't think drugs have done good things for us then do me a favor. Go home tonight and take all of your records,tapes and all your CD's and burn them. Because, you know all those musicians who made all that great music that's enhanced your lives throughout the years? Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreal fucking high on drugs" - bill hicks

Weed hampers in my honest opinion only on short term memory*which usually comes with the onset of becoming burnt out* and being lazy, intellectually so.
It's definitely a modifier to our thought, but I don't believe it hampers on intellect, just how we grasp it and hold onto it through the rapid deterioration of
cohesive thought. When I'm high, keeping an Idea is like holding a handful of salt. Trickles down your hands, and the harder and quicker you go to clench down
on it, the faster it slips out. Any traits it has long term albeit are an issue, remain an issue caused by a different means. This means being again, intellectual laze. Now reinforced by habit. You smoke weed all day, every day, don't give a fuck - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4i3b7CauTsM - You tend to lose practice in intricately formed or structured thought. You tend to lose touch with asking, rhetorically speaking; What, where, when, how or who. In a world without questions, where are the answers supposed to be?

interesting thread. nice thoughts.

ive been smoking for about 9 years now. I started when i was 9 years old. i think i am a very intelligent young adult. Every test that i took through out high school I was high. I believe it helps me concentrate. Being high is in no means making you a more inteligent person you just can concentrate a hell of alot better. The only type of memory loss happens when I am high. Short term memory is terific when it comes to remembering names or remembering parts of a book. But in my experience of memory loss is mostly forgeting what I was about to do but a few seconds later it comes to me. but recently in the last 4 years i have noticed that my peripheral vision is getting really great. And lastly i dont seem to get sick as often. infact for sure the last time i was sick was over a year ago.

In conclusion I do Believe pot hurts you in short term memory loss but it comes back slowly as you come down..

i just think you shouldnt study or try to learn anything, memorize, etc, high..
besides that it doesnt affect me that much..

i took the asvab and scored a top 3 percentile blitzed off my ass
ive been a daily heavy user for a good 18 years now, my short term memory is a little off now and again but nothing really problematic or seriously noticeable.
now my old lady will swear up and down it affects my attention span, but what she doesnt know is that her never ending yapping about shit i could honestly not give a crap about (like what her coworker said last week about her boss) doesnt keep my attention in the first place
one thing ive noticed is any strenuous physical activity is definitly affected when im stoned, most of the time id rather not be stoned if i know im in for a good workout, it seems my stanima is affected and im generally lethargic if i got a buzz and doing some hard work, especially if its hot outside.

You know I had trouble in high school, but once I started toking I became an excellent college student. I've been smoking almost 4 years now and I do notice these things to, but if I'm not high it tends to be problematic.

My fiance does it too, I swear I'd rather be deaf than listen to her gossip about a cowoker of hers I've never meet.

Sounds like you need to try some Brainstorm Haze, that gets me ready for work in the morning, but I never see it where I'm from, it's one of those, you have to grow yourself strains. But check out some sativa's if you haven't already, surely one might help. But yeah, never mind if it's hot outside.

I smoke 4-5 times a day,,run a business,,and have a wife and a home and 2 vehicles,,do I qualify???

I'm sober during the day, most the time , because of work.
Every night I toke up however ... I play my cello at night while high and the combination of the two puts me in a Zen like state.

I'm about to start grad school and work on ethnomusicology. I don't know if weed has affected me one way or another in the last year, but I do know that after 15 years of being sober I'd basically stopped motion forward after getting out of college ...

Now I'm high as fuck and a freight train of determination to get my masters and potentially doctoral degrees. I have no idea if it makes me smart, but it sure as fuck makes me stubborn.
